Picking out publicity/dust jacket shots? Really kind of sucks. Generally, the rule I give photo clients for dust jacket pics is to ask someone's middle american parent which they like, if you're going for a book selling to as broad a readership as possible and want to appear accessible. For some strange reason, your average joe folks seem to pick common-denominator well for this stuff.

Ladies and Gentlemen, runny noses and flatfeet of all ages: This is Calder's Circus which shimmied over to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City in 1970. Be careful, it may sock you in the nose or kiss you on top of your pointed head. It is a circus after all. Expect, as they say, the unexpected. And live life to the fullest. Roarr! Alexander Caler (1898-1976) created and performed the circus starting in 1926

When Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had little idea how popular this story and the twenty-two that followed it would immediately become. No other animal stories have so captivated the imagination of children and adults alike. Today the Tales are bestsellers all over the world, translated into many foreign languages. Frederick Warne uses the most advanced technolgoy to reproduce the original pictures eith a freshnes and degree of authenticity unattainable until recently.
These little books should be among the first owned by any child and their appeal is still as strong as when the first story was published.

I'm a Jasper Fforde fan from way back. I'm also a lover of libraries, but when I put a hold on "The Fourth Bear" I found there were 24 people ahead of me who had the same idea, and the book hadn't even been released yet. So I splurged and pre-ordered it. It arrived yesterday, on the release date. I know what I'm doing this weekend...

An Underwood Miller edition, Presentation Copy signed inside but not numbered.
The slipcase isn't original to this copy.
Having bought all three volumes of the trilogy, I had this clothbound one with a dustjacket but the two others had slipcases. I asked Chuck Miller, one half of the publishing company, if he could send a spare slipcase with my next order and he did!
Not that the slipcases match completely, because Maduc (volume 3) has a cream case...
